That is Wikipedia, but i bet i was not more than a quarter of
a year.  In fact i am a bit surprised, my parents divorced when
i was fourteen, and i really can remember myself using GEOS
proper.  And then, this was all in 8-bit, 64 KB, 1 MHz!  However
they did that!  With paint program, write program..
